The box referred to is probably the little blue box on the left hand side of the Package Manager that the Mac GUI offers for loading packages. One possible cause for that behavior in my experience is working with a 64 bit GUI when the package was installed from binary. This occurs because most of the Mac binaries at this point are compiled for 32 bit target machines.

One possible workaround is to compile from all packages source in the 64 bit GUI's Package Installer (with the compile dependencies checkbox checked.) The BioCLite bundle took a while but it did compile without errors reported. That's been working for this UNIX neophyte for the last several months and I only lack the skills to fix what is broken with the underpinnings to rgl.

Obviously the OP should have included more system and device details, especially the results of systemInfo() .

Well, I personally have no idea what "the box" might be, but I've sent this
back to the list (you sent it just to me), and maybe someone else will
know.

You might be better off asking on the Bioconductor list.

But in general, we need to know _what_ went wrong. What did you do,
what happened, what error messages did you get? Those messages are
given for a reason, you know...

Hello,
I am trying to run R on my Mac (OS10.5.6) and am having trouble installing
and running packages (genefilter in particular in Bioconductor)


I've tried re-installing R and it hasn't solved the issue.
